Olympic Vault Final – Simone, Rebeca, Jade

The medalist order most predicted.

No controversy today.

1. Simone Biles, United States, 15.300
2. Rebeca Andrade, Brazil, 14.966
3. Jade Carey, United States, 14.466
4. An Chang Ok, North Korea, 14.216
5. Valentina Georgieva, Bulgaria, 13.983
6. Ellie Black, Canada, 13.933
7. Yeo Seojeong, South Korea, 13.416
8. Shallon Olsen, Canada, 13.366

Yurchenko Double Pike should be valued much higher, in my opinion.

Olympic Floor Champ – Carlos Yulo

1. Carlos Yulo, Philippines, 15.000
2. Artem Dolgopyat, Israel, 14.966
3. Jake Jarman, Great Britain, 14.933
4. Illia Kovtun, Ukraine, 14.533
5. Milad Karimi, Kazakhstan, 14.500
6. Luke Whitehouse, Great Britain, 14.466
7. Rayderley Zapata, Spain, 14.333
8. Zhang Boheng, China, 13.933

Judges will be arguing the rank order of the top three — look at those scores!

Personally, I’m happy to see Yulo and Philippines leave Paris with a Gold medal.

IOC statement on Women’s Boxing

Two female boxers being criticized online are competitors in good standing with the IOC. They’ve competed for many years and meet all eligibility criteria.

Certainly the International Boxing Association bungles many things, this being simply the most recent. If I was on the IOC I’d vote to drop that sport from Olympic competition.
